Cajun Cracklins

November 13, 2023 by George Graham 68 Comments

Cajun Cracklins

I admit it. Cajun cracklins are addictive,  I am a recovering cracklin’ addict and am now in a 12-step program on the way to enlightenment.  Okay, so I am embellishing a bit.  But, just a bit.  Hear my story. I was first grabbed by the demon porcine pleasure at a later stage of life when…

Les Oreilles De Cochon – Pig’s Ear Pastry

Les Oreilles De Cochon – Pig’s Ear Pastry

I love hometown cookbooks. You know the kind I’m talking about. Not the glossy, full color, celebrity chef-endorsed titles that scream from the shelf of the big box bookstores. No, these are the quiet, little regional books–usually comb-bound with no photographs–tucked neatly in rows far from the main displays. These are the cookbooks that define…

Sugarcane-Glazed Spareribs

October 9, 2023 by George Graham 2 Comments

Sugarcane-Glazed Spareribs

“Low and slow, son,” that’s what my daddy always told me was the key to cooking ribs. He’d fire up the pit on a Saturday morning and by the time the afternoon sun was setting, we’d be in pig heaven. Growing up in small town Louisiana, pork ribs–especially spareribs (my father’s favorite)–was the only barbecue…

Scuppernong-Glazed Bourbon Beef Ribs with Tasso Potato Gratin

Scuppernong-Glazed Bourbon Beef Ribs with Tasso Potato Gratin

I am a meticulous planner by nature as well as by profession.  That attention to detail has served me well these many years, but truth be told, I’ve grown tired of it.  It seems that as I’ve aged, I’ve let loose of the need to fastidiously program every waking minute of my life.  Except for…

Rum-Soaked Coconut Bread Pudding

August 7, 2023 by George Graham 4 Comments

Rum-Soaked Coconut Bread Pudding

Recipe inspiration can come from just about anywhere at any time.  A long, lazy Saturday with family and friends by the pool sipping frozen pina coladas and chowing on cheeseburgers doesn’t always spark an idea.  But, a stack of leftover hamburger buns, an unopened can of pina colada mix and a half spent bottle of…

Chicken Braised in Tarragon Cream

July 24, 2023 by George Graham 15 Comments

Chicken Braised in Tarragon Cream

French tarragon is an alluring aromatic herb, and when used with subtleness, it can turn most any humble dish–chicken especially–into a showcase of sublime flavor.  But, I didn’t always cook with tarragon until one night I was properly introduced to a now-favorite recipe for Chicken Braised in Tarragon Cream. I recall dining years ago at…

Watermelon Bread

July 17, 2023 by George Graham 17 Comments

Watermelon Bread

Watermelon stands lining the side of the rural parish roads are an especially Southern thing.  Truckloads begin arriving as the temperature soars, and there is no better way to cool down than a slice of ice-cold watermelon on the back porch steps.  Or maybe there is: Watermelon Bread – hot out of the oven. I’ve…

Blackened Catfish with Lemon Rosemary Sauce

Blackened Catfish with Lemon Rosemary Sauce

Rich and savory with butter and spices, the first bite of my Blackened Catfish with Lemon Rosemary Sauce will shift your taste buds into overdrive. The browned butter develops an almost nutty taste that balances with the herbs and spices infused with white wine. And if you follow our step-by-step video in this story, it’s…

Strawberry Shortcake Jars

Strawberry Shortcake Jars

In the South, strawberry shortcake and the 4th of July just go hand-in-hand. There’s no better way to top off a backyard holiday barbecue than with fresh seasonal fruit topped with whipped cream. These Strawberry Shortcake Jars are the simplest recipe that delivers crowd-pleasing results every time. So, how can we improve upon perfection? I grew…

The Tastiest Softshell Crabs Ever

The Tastiest Softshell Crabs Ever

Dining outdoors in the summer is one of the joys of living in the Deep South, and I take advantage of most any restaurant that offers al fresco dining. But, it was more than the outdoor view that caught my rapt attention recently when I dove into a dinner of Fried Softshell Crabs that piled on…
